"Practical and on-target advice."-Marion J. Franz, M.S., R.D.,
C.D.E."Practical nutrition information with powerful health
implications. . . . Carolyn Leontos takes readers by the hand and
leads them step by step toward the goal of good blood glucose
control."-Patti Geil, M.S., R.D., F.A.D.A., C.D.E. From the moment
you or a loved one is diagnosed with diabetes, immediate changes
must be incorporated into your diet because what you eat-and how
you prepare what you eat-has a great impact on the progression of
the disease. What to Eat When You Get Diabetes begins from that
very first moment of diagnosis, acquainting you with the types of
foods and meal plans ideal for people with diabetes. But as Carolyn
Leontos explains, you don't have to give up your favorite foods to
control-or prevent-diabetes. In this practical and reassuring
resource, Leontos shows you that a diet for people with diabetes
can be filled with satisfying, delicious dishes. Drawing on her
extensive experience as a registered dietitian and certified
diabetes educator, she combines satisfying menu suggestions, sample
meal plans and recipes, and ideas on how to modify your favorite
recipes with the personal stories of people living healthily with
diabetes. She also addresses such confusing issues as weight loss,
meal plans, calories, portion sizes, eating in restaurants,
vitamins, and effectively balancing food and medication. You will
discover:
* Why you don't have to give up your favorite foods
* The truth about saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated
fats-and trans fatty acids
* What constitutes a balanced meal
* What to order in restaurants
* Why fat is important-and why you shouldn't eliminate it from your
diet

What to Eat When You Get Diabetes takes the mystery out of good
nutrition-and shows you how healthy eating can help you achieve
lifelong wellness.
